“Emotional numbness / flatness / blunting … No inner monologue (blank mind) … "Brain fog" trouble thinking or concentrating”
Cause
r/dpdr first-person OP u/Diligent_Challenge78 (post 1x5j3nl; same author 1r7277f r/PSSD): attributes sexual dysfunction + general anhedonia to bad reaction to fluoxetine then stopping (~4+ years). DPDR symptom list includes explicit "No inner monologue (blank mind)" and "Emotional numbness / flatness / blunting".
Duration
~4+ years at Feb–Oct 2026 posts (fluoxetine reaction onset; still listing blank mind + emotional numbness Oct 2026)
Recovery notes
1r7277f (2026-02-17): genital numbness/ED/pleasureless orgasm + general anhedonia over 4 years, unlikely to improve with time alone. No recovery of blank+numb claimed. Exploring Emsam/MAOI and adjuncts in other posts.
